Lap Band Solutions has it all. All doctors visits, medical records, medical clearance, etc.

I have been given the "it probably won't be approved" speech because of the lack of 12 months documentation. But I am still hopefull.

Said my prayers. Crossing my figures, toes, legs, eyes, and holding my breath.

Good thoughts are needed!

<p>I'm so sorry to hear that you were denied. I know that many people on the board were denied the first time too. There are some sample letters of insurance appeal letters. It's worth a shot. Good luck.</p>

Oh poodles, I'm so sorry! Appeal, appeal, appeal. You obviously have the tenacity to stay on top of them. Good luck!

I"m so sorry about the denial for you. That really sucks! But don't give up...I think they count on people giving up right away and not pursuing the appeals process~

They have not heard the last from me. Although, everyone seems to be off today...

Guess I will have to take the weekend off and start again next week. Maybe the new year will bring better news.

Just hope I am not banned from the board without a band.

Merry Christmas everybody and thanks for all of the support and advice.

I know how dissappointed you are, but you keep fighting that darn insurance company!

I am going through the same thing. However my insurance has asked for more information and this being the holidays, everyone is out. So, Hopefully next week will be better. It just sucks having to wait another week.

***Deep breath*** Man, I have had a busy few days. Yesterday I went for my sixth month weigh in. This morning called and had my medical records faxed to LBS and to BC/BS. Also wrote a "please approve me" letter. That was faxed and received by BC/BS. This has been the longest ordeal ever, I just hope and pray that they approve me with 6 months. They usually require 12 months but I am hoping. Now that I am halfway done I will do the other 6 months if needed, but I really want to get this done soon. Low carb is fine, but I still get hungry and have not seen the scale move very much in the past 6 months. (All in all have lost 4 lbs total) Gain, lose, gain, lose... very depressing.

Well now I am holding my breath again. Wish me luck...
